Note: Pipes that have absolute roughness equal to or less than 0.000005 feet are considered to exhibit “smooth pipe” characteristics. Relative roughness and friction factors for new, clean pipes for flow of 60°F (15.6°C) water (Hydraulic Institute Engineering Data Book, Reference 5) (1 ...

This equation also introduces a dimensionless term referred to as the friction factor, which relates the absolute pipe roughness to the density, velocity and viscosity of the fluid and the pipe diameter. The term that relates fluid density, velocity and viscosity and the pipe diameter is called ...
wherefDis the Darcy friction factor. The block approximates this value by using the empirical Haaland equation and theInternal surface absolute roughnessparameter. The block takes the differential over each half of the pipe segment, between portAto an internal node, and between the internal node an...

4.39), but in this case, it is related to the friction in pipes which, in turn, depends on the pipe diameter, the flow velocity, the surface roughness of the penstock, and it increases proportionally to the length of the conduit. Again, the Bernoulli equation can be rewritten as follows...

The pressure drop in a bend depends on the ratio of bend radius to pipe diameter, the gas velocity, Ug, and the internal roughness, k, of the pipe. When a two-phase, gas-solid suspension undergoes a directional change in a pipeline, the bend naturally acts as a segregator of the two...
